Dear Google: Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), also known as Tic Douloureux or “the “Suicide Disease” affects between 4-6 million people worldwide of all ages. It is estimated that 1 in every 20,000 people suffer from TN, although the actual figure may be significantly higher due to frequent misdiagnosis.

We're asking Google to create a doodle for their homepage in support of trigeminal neuralgia every year, on October 7th for the millions who use Google each day to learn more about trigeminal neuralgia awareness and become involved in helping find a cure. Also, for the millions worldwide who suffer from trigeminal neuralgia, it would shine a bright light for them to let them know that they’re not alone and that we’re expanding awareness for greater access to further resources, and create opportunities for funding and research.

Google has created over 300 Doodles for musicians, inventors, artists, historians and more!

Create A Google Doodle For Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness!

Our goal is to get 20,000 signatures in hopes that Google will turn their homepage icon TEAL for the cause!
